1t is a usual thing Immediately af-
ter convention 70 end some little
dissatisfaction with the ticket nomi-
mated. After matters have been fully
discussed and the little misunder-
standings explained, the Republican
voters come to the front and vote
the Republican ticket. The present
Republican tieket-nominated In
one of the best conventions ever
held in Saline eOunty-is increasing
in favor every day-the little dissat-
isfactlOn that existed having died
out BY election day the ticket will
receive the legitimate Republican
majority. A comparison Of the two
tickets easily satisfies the voter that
the Republican nominees are by far
the best men:
Clarence Wilson, candidate for
County Treasurer, is a much the
better man for the Office than his an
tagonist, Alex. Berg. He has dur
ing the years he has served as de-
putty Treasurer and two years rs
County Treasurer shown himself
most efficient officer. While BIr
Berg may be q very clever man, he
Is not necessarily fitted to fill one OF
the most difficult and most response
bic offices in theeOunty. All "clever
men" are not per a. fitted for office
I holding.
OlOf Forsse. Republican candidate
for Sheriff, will bring to the dis
charge Of his duties an experience Of
several years in Office. The lawyers
all testify TO his fitness for the place,
and their endorsement could not be
{ improved upon. Mr.. Gentry, the
/ democratic candidate for sheriff. has
In no way, shape or form shown to
the general public that he has any
capacity for this or auy other office.
/ Mr.. Emanuel +. Swanson, Repub-
lIcan candidate for County Clerk, Is
a successful business rlan OF Assaris,
fully competent to discharge all the
duties Of the office. His Democratic
Opponent is Joseph Sargent, the
man who has gone out Ofthe Repub-
lican party that has conferred hon
ors upon him 30 long. to consnrt with
the enemy.
( Alexander NJ. Campbell, the Re-
publican candidate for Register Of
Deeds-whOse name is 3 household
word In every family In Saline
county-symbOllc Of integrity and
capabillty and cleanness in public
position. His opponent Is Miss Min
ME Very, whose fitness for the Of
fee has in no way been indicated,
and in whose favor the only argu-
ment thus far has been that she is q
soldiers orphan and Il cripple.
The Republican candidate for Cor
oner, DIR. NJ. ]. Brown, one Of the
live young Republicans OF Saline
county, who has filled this Office ef.
flciently for the past two years, has
opposed to him DR.. G. w. Newman
another clever gentlemen, who Is
certainly no more competent for the
place than his opponent.
H. G.. Johnston, Republican candi-
date for Surveyor, has a statewide
reputation az a civil engineer. His
opponent, Mr.. Burford, has not had
equal experience in this line Of the
profession.
Taylor Miller, Republican eandI.
date for County Commissioner, il
especially suited for the Office in
this, the Salina district. He has al.
ways been first in matters lookins
to the progress and improvement oi
our city, and yet has had an eye tC
guarding the public funds again a
any unnecessary drains. He IL {
good business man an as fully com.
peteni to serve the people in thii
capacity as his opponent, r. p
Cravens.
and thus the Republicans Of tn,
county present their ticket-in al
respects superior to the opposition
ticket-which will be elected as sur,
as the sun will rise on the sth day oi
November.
